A method includes operating a remote image capture system within a defined geolocation region. The remote image capture system includes a camera, position orientation controls for the camera, ambient sensors and a control unit. A user of a client device that enters the geolocation region is designated based upon identifying information received from the client device and user facial recognition data. Attributes of the geolocation region are communicated to the client device. An image capture location within the geolocation region is communicated to the client device. The client device is provided a prompt to activate the camera.
